An Investment In Your Child’s Future
We all want our children to receive the best possible education, preparing them for success in college and beyond while fostering a love for lifelong learning. A Neskowin Valley School education does just that.
At NVS, inclusion and affordability are central to our mission. Nearly 30% of our families receive need-based tuition assistance and scholarships, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to education. Our financial aid program allows families to contribute what they can, with eligibility determined through an online aid application.
It costs over $16,000 per year to educate each student, and the school engages in ongoing fundraising to bridge the gap between tuition and actual operating costs. Tuition rates are set each winter by the Board of Trustees for the following academic year. A deposit is required upon acceptance to secure a student’s place, and flexible payment plans are available. All tuition and fees for the 2025-2026 academic year must be paid in full by May 1, 2026

Affordability
Neskowin Valley School is dedicated to making education accessible to families who share our mission, regardless of financial background. Over 30% of our students receive financial aid.
We encourage any family needing support to apply for tuition assistance. We understand that independent school tuition is a significant investment, and every family's financial situation is unique. Our Financial Aid Program is designed to make an NVS education possible based on demonstrated need and available funding.
The NVS Finance Committee recognizes that many families require tuition assistance and values efforts to authentically represent the Oregon Coast community within our school. In 2023-2024, NVS awarded $41,500 in scholarships, supporting 43% of students from Preschool through Grade 8. Financial need is determined using recommendations from Benefaq, considering a family’s financial position, estimated contribution, and an optional personal narrative.
